The Sound of Music


The Sound of Music

This 1965 musical starred Julie Andrews as the main character. The songs included are from the musical duo Rodgers and Hammerstein (previously mentioned). The story is based on a nun who is sent to nanny a group of uncontrollable children who have no intention of respecting and obeying her. That is until she introduces them to the joyess activity of singing. This movie was a hit in its 1965 debut. It also housed a rare appearance by Marni Nixon who is known for dubbing singing voices, most famously Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady(also previously mentioned). In December 1965 it became the highest grossing movie of all time when it surpassed one million dollars, beating Gone with the Wind.
